Once I reverse-engineer a gasket I can then locate the ports in 3d space if I know how far apart they are.

I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult to put a manifold on a surface plate and with the help of a knee, use a height gage to get something accurate enough.
Typical method for measuring \-----------/

would be part sitting flat and use 2 dowels..... 0\-----------/0

with know diameters and measure over the outside then a little trig per the known angle (45)......onless you have a couple moldmaker ball-pins

and a CMM.

Otherwise it's going to take you a minute to do all the set-ups accurately and then figuring per plane.
